My Story
Born and raised in Queens, NY — the most diverse area in the world — I was enticed from an early age to explore and learn about every culture. This upbringing ignited my passion for connecting with people and discovering the richness of the world. With a charm and hustle mentality, I thrive on working hard to bring dreams to life. As a travel advisor, I’m dedicated to helping clients plan incredible trips, going the extra mile to ensure every detail is just right. Easygoing yet diligent, I pride myself on my work ethic, building genuine connections and creating unforgettable journeys. Whether it’s enjoying a perfect cup of coffee, savoring a great whiskey or sharing stories with people from around the globe, I’m always seeking meaningful experiences that enrich both my life and the lives of those I work with.
Travel Style
Having traveled extensively across six continents (with one to go!), my journeys have shaped my love for curating luxury experiences. My travel style is the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration, indulging in luxurious comforts while uncovering the unique charms of new destinations. I have a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, savoring authentic culinary delights, exquisite wines and every nuance that makes a place special. From immersing myself in vibrant cityscapes to basking in serene landscapes, my travels are enriched with unforgettable experiences that tantalize all the senses. With my wealth of global experiences, I specialize in offering clients bespoke travel itineraries that reflect a deep understanding of what makes every destination extraordinary.

Rajiv is an exceptional travel agent with the unique needs of his clients in mind. His attention to detail in providing hotel and travel recommendations and also outlining restaurant selections and itineraries were noteworthy. Rajiv is there at every step of the way before, during and after the travel. That is a very comforting feeling when traveling to new destinations.

Raj planned the most incredible birthday trip for my mom and me to France and Turkey. From start to finish, every detail was taken care of—we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The itinerary was so thoughtfully put together, balancing all the must-see highlights with unique, personal touches that made the journey feel curated just for us.
What stood out most was how Raj made my Mom's birthday feel extra special. He secured dinner reservations at amazing restaurants, planned experiences around our interests, and went above and beyond to make the celebration unforgettable. My mom and I felt cared for the entire time, and we could truly just enjoy the trip knowing everything was handled seamlessly in the background.
It was a flawless experience that exceeded our expectations. Raj didn’t just plan a vacation—he created lifelong memories for us.

Seoul, Served My Way
Seoul surprised me—not just with its pace and precision, but also with how deeply it values ritual, beauty, and care in the everyday. It’s a city where tradition isn’t hidden—it’s honored, layered into modern life with grace and intention. From the first bite of market street food to my final quiet moment by the stream, I felt both grounded and inspired. Seoul didn’t just impress me—it stayed with me.
